Plaistow, New Hampshire is implementing an Area-wide Source Water Protection
Plan , prepared by their Source Water Protection Committee with the
assistance of the Northeast Rural Water Association. The plan encompasses
51 public drinking water systems within the town's boundaries, all of
which draw their drinking water from ground water sources. These include
larger community water supplies (19) and well as smaller transient systems.
In addition, many Plaistow residents are served by private wells. The
plan identifies and outlines a structured approach to managing potential
sources of contamination and threatening activities that occur within
the source water protection area.
